Sanchez has also brought greater scrutiny to the misuse of arbitration and has worked to address the mortgage crisis through existing bankruptcy law that would help keep families in their homes. The sixth of seven children, Sanchez was born in the City of Orange to immigrant parents from Mexico.

They were the first sisters and the first women of any relation to ever serve together in Congress. Congresswoman Sanchez continued to make history in 2009 when she became just the eighth member of Congress to give birth while serving in office. Linda and her husband, James Sullivan, are the proud parents of Joaquin Sanchez Sullivan, and his Sullivan brothers- Brendan, Jack, and Seamus. Back home in California, she enjoys taking the family's Miniature Schnauzers, Brooklyn and Scully, on walks along Whittier's greenway trail and on hikes up to the Turnbull Canyon water tower.
